Third State Park Beauty Spot
\~ — :
- t- U'MTWai IHHMU ' .JS
Perhaps the most beautiful spot In In
diana has come into the possesion of the
State of Indiana through the gift of 300
acres of land near Madison for a State
; park. With its acquisition Indiana now
, owns three State parks and the move
: tnent for extension of this service to the
people receives considerable stimulus.
The gift was made possible through
the generosity of the public spirited cltl
tsns of Madison and of Jefferson County,
and Is In a great measure due to the un
tiring efforts of William A. Guthrie,
chairman of the Stsfe Conservation Com
mlsaion, who more than a year ago be
came interested in the project. Asso
ciated with him in the pioneer work of
obtaining Clifty Fairs and vicinity for a
State park, were Elmer Scott. Joseph
Schofield, William H. Miller and mem
bers of the Madison Rotary Club.
Mr. Guthrie, representing the Stats de
partment, and Mr. Miller and John W.
Tevls. acting for the citizens of Madison
and of Jefferson County, reported to Gov
ernor Goodrich that s fund approximat
ing $15,000 had been raised to purchase
the proposed park. They tendered a
bond for this sum to the department of
conservation, binding the agreement that
the Clifty Falls tract would be be
queathed to the State. In consideration
of the gift the State agrees to spend af
prnxlmately $20,000 toward Its Improve
ment. The new park will he under Jur
isdiction of the department of conserva
tion and Improvements will be outlined
by members of the conservation commis
sion. - .
CLIFTY FALLS PARK
NEAR MADISON.

mile and a half from Madison. It la

HUNGER SQUAD
GAINS SLIGHTLY j
With No Precedents, Physi
cians Plan Diet for Strikers.
CORK, Nov. 15.—The nine Sinn Fein
hunger strikers, who voluntarily ended
their fast last Friday after goim? ninety
three days without food In Cork Jail,
were much stronger today and have al
ready begun to take on flesh. They have
been given their first cooked food—•
pounded plaire and milk. Tomorrow they
will be gl ven some boiled chicken.
Physicians who have assisted In the
treatment ci hunger strikers said it la a
phenomenon of medical science that the
prisoners were able to take nourishment
and digest it so easily after long ab
stention from food. It was feared the
men might suffer a nervous collapse, bug
they have been sleeping peacefully and
gaining strength steadily.
The first nourishment administered
was baby food, such ns Is given to a six
months-old Infant. Then a little glucose
was given. This was followed by a tea
spoon of meat Juice diluted with water.
After this the men received more baby
food, with a small predigested biscuit
and ’ glucose. This was followed after
some hours by a double teaspoonful of
Jelly albumen and water. Three hours
inter more baby food was administered.
The Sunday menu was a little stronger.
Ur. Pearson, the jail physician and his
assistant, Dr. Bnttlscombe, said they were
“groping on uncharted seas * In trying
to rescue the men.
"All nine were virtually on the point
!of death when they finally yielded, said
. I)r. Pearson. “We had no precedents to
guide us so we had to formulate our own
dietary rules. We worked upon the
principle that the men's stomachs were
as frail from disuse as the .stomach of a
and or 0 months old Infant. Our process
was a success."

FIRST ASSEMBLY
OF LEAGUE OPENS

cil, the League of Nations Council heard
the reading of the order of thf day for
the assembly meeting. Paul Hyman*,
Belgian foreign minister, was chosen
president of the session. The vote: Hy
mans, 35; President Motta of Switzer
land, 5; Leon Bourgeois of France. 1.
The delegates were seated In alphabeti
cal order and a place, was reserved for
the Americans despite the fact that the
United States Is not a member of the
league.
Reservations were made according to
the French spelling of the various na
tions. Thus “Afrlque Sud,’’ represented
by Lord Robert Cecil, has the honor
of the Hz st row of seats to the right of
JI. Flymans. Argentine was alloted
space next to “Afrlque Sud.” If the
United States were represented the Amer
ican delegates would occupy the seats
reserved for “Etats Unis” between Spain
and France.
The first murmur of disapproval arose
on Sunday, when it was announced that
Lord Robert Cecil would represent South
Africa instead of Gen. J. C. Smut*. Some
of the Scandinavian delegates Informally
suggested that an amendment be adopted
preventing delegates from sitting In the
future unless they are are bona fide
residents of the countries the represent.
BRINGS OPPOSITION
FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
The small Central American States op
posed this suggestion. Most of them plan
represented at future sessions by
proxies on account of the heavy ex
pense of sending and maintaining dele

People afflicted with bad breath find
